Reviews

"The tales vary widely in tone and theme, but all are well-crafted and attention-grabbing. Anyone with an interest in independent speculative fiction will find this anthology an excellent place to start." - Publisher's Weekly"
A diverse collection of well-written stories that will challenge readers and make their imaginations soar. Every story is unique, and the contributing authors open doors perhaps best left closed. Once a reader walks through, though, there will not be any peace until the story ends." - Readers' Favorite
"I really liked the message in the Introduction about how these stories are about ordinary 'heroes'. And it's true - these short stories aren't focused on Chosen Ones or superpowered beings. We follow regular folk as they confront and adapt to irregular situations, and here they truly run the gamut. No two stories were the same! This was a diverting collection of imaginative stories across a range of genres." - Notes From A Paper Plane Nomad
"[H]ighly original takes on what at first sight appear standard themes that turn out to be wrenched in unexpected directions by the originality and creativity of the authors. Exactly the kind of stories I like to read. I have no hesitation in recommending this book." - Amazing Stories magazine
"Catherine Fitzsimmons has gathered together an eclectic and diverse science fiction and fantasy anthology, representing the vision and style of the many authors she's published over the years. [Q]uite a good number of strong stories in this anthology." - Kit Daven, author of A Xiinisi Trilogy
